“Wilder testified that a buyer showed up at her house the day after she and her husband had decided to withdraw from the Mormon Church, and a college dean offered her a job for which she had never applied. “Christianity is wonderful because of God,” she said. “He’s created for all of us a new family, a new life, and the most amazing trust in Him because of what we watched Him do.” “
I know some folks will disagree, but she’s still crazy-like-a-Mormon - God helped her sell her house (but who got the 6% commission?) and getting offered a job out-of-the-blue are not the type of things one would attribute to God.
It sounds more like “prosperity Christianity” which is just as far from Christianity as Mormonism is.

She admits she is newly out and when this happened she was JUST coming out of Mormonism. It takes some time to get out of the Mormon mindset. I know Lynn, not well, but we cross paths often in ministry and she is definitely not the prosperity gospel type. In context, this part of her testimony is that when she was fired (for leaving the Mormon church) God provided. What isn’t in the quote is that the college is a few miles away from where her 3 children and their spouses live in Florida and the dean does not know the children either.
Because of the local uproar over them leaving, they were completely shunned and had been looking at a way to leave the area.
Also, selling houses in the exclusive town of Alpine, Utah in this market isn’t easy. I have a friend in Alpine who has had their house on the market for well over a year now.
All of that taken with the timing, it is reasonable for someone with her background, and even those who are not, to see the hand of God in these things.
Not quite; as there is no mention of SEED money being given to 'GOD' first.
James 1:17
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
What has a 'commission' got to do with it?
